Recently two eye-catching events took place at the United Nations, in a quick succession; unfortunately both escaped desired focus. First, Ban-Ki-Moon was approved for the second five year term. He took the oath of office, placing his hand on the original UN Charter, promising to discharge his functions in the interests of the entire UN [...]
Obama is certainly stretching his global goodwill to its limits. After critiquing the US invasion of Iraq when out of power, he has upped the military ante with the surge in Afghanistan; refocused on the military centric approach in Pakistan with a massive increase in drone attacks against Pakistani civilians (just so much “collateral damage” [...]
Establishment of my country, named Pakistan for which our great leaders had been striving, is an established fact for the last 60 years. Indisputably the motivating force behind creation of Pakistan was to carry out an ideological state for the Muslims where they could fashion their lives according to dictates of Islam and minorities could [...]
The spectacular failures of United Nations have shown it’s inability to provide any lasting and real relief to the world except playing lackey in the hands of United States of America.
